Level 3 Community Health and Wellbeing Apprenticeship
The Community Health and Wellbeing Apprenticeship
This Apprenticeship can be used as gateway into employment within your service, enabling you to widen participation and lower traditional recruitment barriers such as experience and/or educational attainment. The apprenticeship may also be used to support colleagues that already work for you to further develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours in Community Health and Wellbeing.
The apprenticeship is typically 12-15 months long and is in most cases fully funded through either an employer levy (larger employers) or through levy gifting (smaller employers). As with all government backed apprenticeships, there is a requirement to be in paid employment for 30 hours per week and the employer must provide 6 hours per week for ‘off the job training’. Typically, the modules/units cover:
- How to help communities to build local resilience and identify strengths, capacity and resources that support their health and wellbeing
- How to provide informed advice about local services and projects that support health and wellbeing
- Using preventative approaches to promote the health and wellbeing of individuals, groups and communities, addressing the wider determinants of health and causes of ill health
- Applying behavioural science to help people find practical solutions for better health and wellbeing
